Sea Winds, Lerwick townhouse with sea views.

DonnaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This place was a dream!! The location is stunning and the house was beautifully decorated with lots of interesting art on the walls. The host was so friendly and responded quickly when we contacted her. This has to be the best Airbnb my sister and myself have stayed in so far and we have stayed in quite a few.

Auld lifeboat station

Perfect location for exploring the Shetland Isles and mainland. We were lucky enough to be there when the RNLI had their 4th shout of 2025 and had the perfect spot to watch the launch.

Cozy Seaside Shepherd's Hut - St Ninians Isle

JayRating, 5 stars3 months ago
What to say about Yvette and her perfect little shepherd's hut. Fantastic views overlooking the sea. The hut had a little bit of everything in it to make the stay even better. Even down to a emergency sewing kit for just incase. And then there's Yvette the wonderful, amazing, kind and amazing host. Words can not express how brilliant and perfect you are. Personally would pick Yvette and her little hut over a 5 star luxury place any day of the week. Thank you for making the time in Shetland so memorable.

Old Moorens

RuthRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a lovely stay. The cottage was perfect for us to go exploring and super cosy to come back to. It was so well equipped for family stays (even down to sandwich wrappings for picnic lunches). The views were just beautiful, and the children loved being greeted by the chickens each day. Any queries were quickly addressed.

Coastal retreat with beach and woodland garden

DavidRating, 5 stars45 months ago
A very spacious, discrete, comfortable and well equipped home, optimally placed to explore the full extent of the islands. The nearby CoOp and garage in Brae have all the supplies you need. Fresh mussels and scallops available daily from the shellfish farm across the bay. Amazing wildlife, including otters on the lawn. Nikita is a super host, very supportive with good ideas, such as where to spot Orcas. The nearby Brae hotel does good dinners. Thoroughly recommend staying as long as you can to enjoy a special place, people and wildlife in the British Isles. Thanks Nikita!

Bain’s beach beautiful sea view central quiet cosy

CarolRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The Bains Beach apartment was a perfect home from home for our Shetland stay. The views were irresistible and so many thoughtful touches that made it feel so homely and welcoming. A great location, easy nearby parking and we were very lucky to be able to get early access and later check out - that really helped with ferry timings.
